I hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays. We've been visiting Lacy's family, and having a great time.Today's phrase:This is a great time to perform service for people less fortunate. From Dr. Martin Luther King

Condi lays it down...I've made a concerted effort lately to keep the SPOTD e-mails apolitical, but I wanted to share this article. It is drawn from a conversation between a Wall Street Journal writer, Kimberley Strassel, and Condoleeza Rice. Rice challenges the notion that the Bush Administration has left the U.S. in a worse situation in terms of international relations. She draws comparisons between the situation inherited by Bush versus the one being inherited by Obama. You may disagree with the policies of the Bush administration, but I think she makes some valid points.
